[PATCH v3 2/7] fetch-pack: add refetch

From
Robert Coup via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Mar 4, 2022, 15:04 UTC
Message-ID
<04ca6a07f859165cb06197dac862db251b342406.1646406275.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1138.v3.git.1646406274.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Robert Coup <robert@coup.net.nz>

Allow a "refetch" where the contents of the local object store are ignored and a full fetch is performed, not attempting to find or negotiate common commits with the remote.

A key use case is to apply a new partial clone blob/tree filter and refetch all the associated matching content, which would otherwise not be transferred when the commit objects are already present locally.
